TypeError: 're.Match' object is not iterable - charlesauspicks - May-25-2020 I was writing the following Python Code for copying search results (phone numbers) to a new .txt file and I got a TypeError. Please what other way can use to copy the "match" in the for loop to a new file? Please help you if you can... Thanks! import re pattern = re.compile(r"\+\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d") with open("Tunj1.txt", "r") as wadb: init_content = wadb.read() matches = pattern.finditer(init_content) for match in matches: print(match) with open("Extracted Numbers.txt", "w") as wadb_Extracted: for line in match: wadb_Extracted.write(line)
RE: TypeError: 're.Match' object is not iterable - bowlofred - May-25-2020 matches is an iterator that returns Match objects.Match objects themselves have information inside, but are not themselves iterable. So when you do for line in match , the iteration attempt fails.
